Message from CEO

There is no doubt that access to medicine is a subject of concern to all public health professionals and an important reality to the average Nigerian.

We know from WHO’s World Medicines Situation report that over 2 billion

People globally do not have access to medicines.This report has informed our principal objectives.

this include:

• Provision of reliable supply of good quality and affordable essential medicines.

• Ensure equity of access to good quality essential medicines.

• Improve the quality of patient care through training in general management with special emphasis on the promotion of the rational use of drugs.

It is in this spirit that we have operated and seek to operate with a view to increase access to medicines. We have been a key player in the nation’s health care delivery and our Member Institutions account for more than 46% of healthcare delivery in Nigeria. The services rendered range from primary to tertiary healthcare, focusing on the rural poor.

We are focusing on low-cost essential generic medicines to promote access of medicine to the poor and medically needy. Although we are not for profit organization, we are working with the concept of competitive dynamics within the pharmaceutical industry to bring essential medicine to the unreached, who are limited by economic or geographic barriers. Since inception of this program, we have introduce over 20 NAFDAC registered generic products and several product are in the registration pipeline through collaboration and partnership with our co- packers. We also work with IDA, who currently supplies us over 200 generic products.

Our Strategy are:

• Rational Selection and use of medicines

• Affordable Prices

• Sustainable Financing

• Reliable Health and Supply Systems

Furthermore, we ensure supply of essential medicines to health facilities in the most remote of communities of Nigeria, some facilities have non motor able roads, and we have had instances where we need to use speed boats to supply essential medicines.

We have increased our logistics fleet and strengthened our field force to cope with the ever increasing needs of access to essential medicines.

As at today, we have one of the highest performing healthcare infrastructures in the country, second only to the government. Our enviable infrastructures have placed us in a unique position to offer first class logistical services to developmental partners in the country.

Also, we provide procurement, logistics and distribution support to several development partners including the USG funded Presidential Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) projects in Nigeria, DFID funded healthcare projects such as Partnership for Transforming Health systems (PATHS), the Global Fund to treat AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) and others.

We hope to continue to expand our structure, facilities and continue to improve on our core competencies, in procurement, distribution of essential medicines and supply chain management.
